Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump heaped praise on North Korean communist dictator Kim Jong-un, saying he deserves “credit” for slaughtering his opponents. By the way, those opponents include the dictator’s own uncle who reportedly died after being stripped naked, thrown into a cage, and eaten alive by a pack of ravenous dogs.

Still yet, the hotel magnate expressed admiration at a rally in Ottumwa, Iowa on Saturday for “this guy” who is “like a maniac.”

“And you’ve got to give him credit: How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals and all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?” he added, according to The Hill.

“Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss,” Trump said. “It’s incredible.”

North Korea’s government said it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb earlier this week, a claim which appears dubious.

After the supposed ‘hydrogen bomb’ (which probably never happened) was revealed, Trump called Kim Jong-un a “madman playing around with nukes” and a “total nut job.”

And that followed with Trump’s admiration for the man.

After reading his poll numbers, Trump spoke of North Korea’s dictator at around the 40:00 mark.

“I mean, it’s amazing that a young guy would go over and take over,” Trump said Thursday on Fox News’ “On the Record.” “You know, you would have thought that these tough generals would have said no way this is gonna happen when the father died.”

“So he’s gotta have something going for him, because he kept control, which is amazing for a young person to do,” he added.

This isn’t Trump’s first time praising murderous foreign leaders.

He called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “highly respected” man who is “bright and talented.” The GOP front-runner has at least twice defended Putin for murdering journalists.

Some of Jong-un’s opponents have been burned alive.

After his defense chief Hyon Yong Chol fell asleep at a military event, the dictator afforded him a violent death as hundreds of state officials watched. He died by a firing squad who used anti-aircraft weapons.

And yet, Trump’s poll numbers will rise after heaping praise on North Korea’s dictator.
